The mountaintop is associated with success of achievement of a goal or purpose. For one to reach the top of a mountain, one would have had to endure many hardships and challenges. Do you know what people go through to climb mountains? Summarizing this week’s teachings using the mountain climbing experience, let us look at the qualities of Godly success as one tries to fulfill destiny and purpose: 1.The person must be visionary –What have you seen as your destiny or purpose? To be successful at getting there, you must first visualize it (Jer 1:11). 2.Hard Worker – The Bible declares that the lazy don't roast their prey, but hard workers receive precious riches(Prov 12:27 CEB). To climb a mountain and get to the top, it takes physical energy and strength. 3.Perseverance – Nobody can reach the mountaintop without persevering. To be successful, one must never give up. One must endure every hardship. 4.Commitment – To persevere, one must be committed to the goal. Commitment is the element that says that my purpose is to reach that mountaintop and I must achieve it or die trying. Commitment will fuel perseverance. 5.Faithfulness – One can be committed without being faithful. Someone can decide to be committed to a goal, but yet be unfaithful to the plan that was set forth. May you be faithful to the plan of God for your life in Jesus’ name. 6.Humility – We must be humble enough to admit that we need help. Mountain climbers have helpers. For climbers of Mt. Everest, they are a tribe called Sherpas. They live in the mountains, are used to the altitude; and can advise you on how to pace your climbing. Humility is also required so that when you get to the top, you do not start thanking yourself and forget God or the Sherpas. If you do, they will leave you on the mountaintop alone. How would you survive there?

Ask God to help you obtain and maintain every quality of success so that you will have your mountaintop experience without fail. God bless you.
